Conversations
Understand the basics
With conversations, participants can send private messages to another participant, a group of participants, or to user groups. Only the participants who are in the conversation can see each the messages.
| It’s not possible to delete a conversation nor to edit a message in a conversation. | 
How to find it?
As a signed in participant, you can access your conversations from two places:
- 
Click in your avatar in the header, and then click in the "Conversations" menu item
 - 
Click in the "Conversations" link in the footer, in the "My account" section
 
If there are notifications, the participant sees a small badge next to their avatar, and in the dropdown menu.
